    What's the story

    Pakistan skipper Babar Azam scripted history as he became the first batter to complete 2,500 T20I runs as captain.

    He accomplished the massive landmark with his 16th run in the 4th T20I against England at Kennington Oval in London.

    Babar hammered 36 runs from 22 balls before being dismissed by Jofra Archer in the 6th over.

    He added 59 runs alongside Mohammad Rizwan.

    2,500 T20I runs as captain

    Playing his 81st game as captain, Babar has now raced to 2,520 runs. As per ESPNcricinfo, his average is 37.61 and the strike rate reads 131.11.

    Babar owns the joint-most tons as a skipper in the format (3).

    He shares the top spot with India's Rohit Sharma.

    His tally of 26 50-plus scores is also the most for any captain in T20 Internationals.

    Babar is the most capped captain in T20Is. With 46 wins and 27 defeats (before the game), he is also the most successful T20I skipper.

    Under Babar, Pakistan reached the final of the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup and the semi-final of the 2021 edition.

    Meanwhile, Australia's Aaron Finch (2,236) and NZ's Kane Williamson (2,125) are the only other skippers with 2,000-plus T20I runs.
